To: H-WORLD@msu.edu Date sent: Mon, 19 Sep 1994 18:10:44 EST5EDT Subject: Re: Religion & Regime Priority: normal Two books treating the Wars of Religion in France may be of interest to you. First is Barbara Diefendorf's _Beneath the Cross: Catholics and Protestants in 16C. Paris_ -- if you don't mind a truly bizarre account of the Wars of Religion. She can't decide whether she wants to assert certain hypotheses or not (a lot like Nathalie Davis or Lynn Hunt). Far better in my opinion is Michael Wolfe's _The Conversion of Henri IV_, which treats (sometimes in excruciating detail) the problems faced in the on-again off-again conversion of Henri de Navarre and what this meant for many literate segments of French society. If you don't mind something a bit older, you might look at Fr Joseph Lecler's The Two Sovereignties, which treates the Catholic doctrine of separation of spheres for Church and State. Old it may be, but it is by far the clearest statement of the question that I have read. Chris Garton-Zavesky North Carolina State University gartoncj@hcl.chass.ncsu.edu
